Praise for Sisters:

“Goucher history professor Jean H. Baker shows us the human web that shaped five women in their self-awareness, nonconformity and leadership in the struggle for suffrage…By weaving together their public and private lives, Baker deepens our appreciation for the warp and woof of their struggle.” —Anne Grant, The Providence Journal

"Sisters: The Lives of America's Suffragists by historian Jean Baker (Hill and Wang) unspools the lives of Lucy Stone, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Frances Willard and Alice Paul as it unfolds the story of the women's rights movement. The story, itself compelling, becomes more so in Baker's skillful hands. No reader can walk away from this without understanding, and being moved, by the tremendous accomplishments of these women.” —Geeta Sharma-Jensen, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“Baker’s book gives a clear picture of these women whose passion for equal rights led them to spend their lives seeking social change.” —Stell Simonton, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
